re: Any OTers have foam insulation in their house?

Just curious here. Are you saying that what you sell your clients isn't good enough for your own place? Or is there another reason. I am about to hire a builder and I would be mighty pissed if I found out he had different standards for his place and mine. I am hoping there is a reasonable explanation like "we don't do that type of construction." Help me restore my faith.

No, not at all. I offer the homeowner various options. Everyone is just stunned by the price of foam. I can afford the foam, so I'm looking at getting it done. Most homeowners would rather put their money somewhere else rather than foam. I usually at least push them to get Tech Shield roof decking because it will help out with the energy bill and keep your attic cooler. As far as builders, I consider myself one of the most honest ones. I have come across a bunch of them that will screw you however they can to get a dime. My parents worked very hard saving the money to build their house when I was a kid and it was a big investment for them. I think that's why I don't have the heart to screw someone, because for most families it is a lifetime investments. If I can help you or anyone on the OT with building questions or even need me to come look/help you with something on your home, I would be glad to.
